Arsene Wenger confident about securing top-four spot in EPL

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is confident that his team would bag a top-four position by the end of the Premier League season.

He said his team had the strength and character to raise themselves up to keep his record of never failing to take Arsenal into the Champions League during his tenure as their manager intact.

"We still have real hope that we can finish the season the strongest. We have a good spirit and desire within the group -- and we have quality," The Sun quoted Wenger, as saying.

Arsenal is set to host four of the five sides currently above them in the coming weeks, and Wenger is confident they can produce the required consistency.

"We know that with the position we are in we need an exceptional consistency, so that is the challenge we have in front of us at Sunderland," he added.
